A |     (ECNS) -- Shenyang in northeast China’s Liaoning Province launched two cross-border transport routes simultaneously for the first time on Wednesday, namely, Shenyang-Baku (Azerbaijan), and Shenyang-Mongolia-Russia.    On the day, a batch of locally produced frozen beverages cleared customs and underwent inspection under local customs supervision before being loaded onto TIR (Transports Internationaux Routiers) trucks bound for Baku.    The route departs from the TIR Shenyang Consolidation Center, exits China via Baketu Port in Uygur Autonomous Region, and reaches Kuryk Port in Kazakhstan, where cargo is ferried across the Caspian Sea to Baku Port.    Compared with the traditional path, the new route takes around 13 or 14 days for the whole journey, mitigating constraints brought by geopolitical conditions and extreme weather.    Also on Wednesday, four trucks loaded with auto spare parts set off from the TIR Shenyang Consolidation Center. They will cross Mongolia through Erenhot Port in Inner Mongolia to Russia.    The TIR Shenyang Consolidation Center has opened more than 10 cross-border routes covering six countries, including Russia, Belarus, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. It has dispatched 480 TIR truck trips in total, with cumulative cargo value standing at 272 million yuan (approximately $40.42 million).    (By Intern Xu Wenda, Zhang Dongfang)                    。

B |     NAIROBI, Kenya -- Tanzania's government signed a controversial port management deal with Dubai-based DP World that had fueled protests in the African country in the past months and led to arrests of dozens of critics.The deal was signed on Sunday in the presence of Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu Hassan, who has recently been accused of cracking down on critics such as her predecessor, the late John Magufuli.Tanzania Ports Authority Director General Plasduce Mbossa said that DP World, based in the United Arab Emirates, will only operate four berths and not the entire port. Its performance would be reviewed every five years for a total contractual period of 30 years.The opposition and civil society have protested the government decision to have a foreign logistics company manage Tanzania’s ports. The government has said the move would increase port efficiency and grow the country’s economy.The ports agreement was approved by Tanzania’s parliament on June 10, triggering protests in which more than 22 people have been arrested so far, according to Human Rights Watch.The international rights group in August urged Tanzania to respect freedom of expression and the right to protest. Tanzania has made some reforms since the death in 2021 of autocratic President Magufuli, who cracked down on critics and introduced draconian laws.Hassan, who is serving out Magufuli’s term, has been accused of continuing his anti-democratic policies. However, she was lauded in 2022 for lifting a prohibition on four newspapers that had been banned by the former leader.。
